At Mercer | Mettl the Candidate Credibility Index helps in identifying and filtering out candidates who resorted to some means of cheating while taking an Assessment. Candidates having a low credibility index (low credibility) have a higher likelihood of having resorted to unfair means and vice-versa. The index has values - High, Medium, and Low.
Note: The Credibility Index feature is currently in Beta. To get it enabled for your account, please reach out to us.
